Sentinel Design and Build – BUILDERS – Greenwich

Steve and the team at Sentinel Building Company were truly amazing throughout our renovation journey. From the outset, we had the ambitious goal of restoring our 1870's house with original designs but in a modern way. Steve not only understood our vision but, along with his team, came up with ideas that surpassed our expectations. Their professionalism, friendliness, and commitment to quality made the entire process a pleasure. The transformation they achieved is nothing short of remarkable. Our house, now a stunning home, boasts a new kitchen, bathrooms, stairway, and a flawless paint job. The attention to detail in preserving original designs while adding a modern touch is a testament to their expertise. What sets Steve and the team apart is their ability to suggest creative ideas and execute them in ways we hadn't thought possible. The collaborative effort not only added significant value to our house but turned a drab old space into a brand-new home. I can confidently say that Sentinel Building Company is the best in the business. Their workmanship has been praised by everyone visiting our home. If you're embarking on any build project, I highly recommend Steve and his team. They deliver not only on quality but also on the wow factor that sets them apart from the rest.

Steve and his excellent team recently completed our loft conversion.    From the start Steve and his team have provided and excellent service.   The quality of work throughout was to an exceptionally high standard, as was communication, so we knew when each stage of the project would occur.   During the construction Steve helped me above and beyond the call of duty.   I would thoroughly recommend Steve and the Sentinel team and we will definitely be using them again for future projects.

We had a full extension/kitchen renovation work and relocation of downstairs WC earlier this year undertaken by Sentinel. We had many quotes but felt Sentinel were offering a balance of reasonable pricing and a high quality job. The work was extensive and the biggest project we had ever undertaken so we were nervous about the process. Sentinel were approachable and friendly throughout, as well as appreciating that while it was everyday for them, this was a big deal for us. The team are really polite, hard working and never made us feel uncomfortable in our own home (which considering we were both WFH for the full 10 weeks, was really important). They were punctual, rotated so we had people there 6 days a week and were 100% trustworthy to leave with keys or to lock up if we weren’t home. Right from the moment we first contacted Steve the communication was always extremely efficient. He was always available and responded quickly. We mainly communicated via a WhatsApp group which allowed images to be shared but Steve also answered the phone if we needed him. The work itself had completely transformed the space and we couldn’t love it more. Steve was quick to understand and visualise what we wanted. It is lighter, brighter and feels more spacious. Dell was with us for a few weeks and his attention to detail and commitment to a high finish was impressive and much appreciated. A really unique and valuable selling point that Sentinel has is that they didn’t deviate from the original quotation. Despite extra work coming in which they could quite reasonably negotiated the fee for, they honoured the original price. We would definitely use Sentinel again, overall it was a smooth, positive experience and we felt taken care of throughout.

We first chose Sentinel as they came highly recommended from our Architect. This being our first building project, we were cautious of selecting the right builders. Sentinel were incredibly professional and a pleasure to have working in our house. All of the team were individually proud of their work and experts in the field. We were particularly impressed with their can do attitude, no challenge was unsolvable and this put us at great ease through what many other people can experience as a stressful process. The quality of their finish has made our home transformation one to be proud of and we can't wait to enjoy the space Sentinel have created for us. Without question we would invite Sentinel back for future projects and have already begun recommending them to friends and family.

Sentinel were fantastic at dealing with a severe leak to a mains water pipe at short notice. I contacted Steve after noticing signs of the leak. Once it had been assessed, Steve coordinated a team for the next day to locate the leak, excavate and then fix it. The team were great: good-humoured, hard-working with attention to detail. They did a great job and the water’s now flowing. This all took place during the coronavirus lockdown. Even in normal times, this would have been a pain to sort out; I was lucky to have Sentinel’s help. Sentinel are due to work at my property later in the year and I couldn’t have more confidence in them. They’re a top quality team that cares.

Steve and the team at Sentinel were in stark contrast to the usual stress associated with building work. The job was completed to a very high standard with unavoidable disruption kept to a bare minimum. Any snags were resolved quickly and the end result was impressive. I highly recommend Sentinel and would look no further for future home improvements. Thanks again.

If you’re looking for a builder that’s reliable, professional and customer focused then I can honestly say Sentinel Design and Build are that company. From start to finish they have been exactly what I asked for. Their work’s been so impressive I’ve recommended them to family and friends.

We used Sentinel Design and Build for one of our properties that was damaged with flooding and also cracked tiles in bathroom causing Damp issues. I had tenants living in the property. They communicated directly with tenants and got the whole job done in just over a week. The finish was excellent and tidy. We will definitely be using them again.

I recently called on the services of Sentinel Design & Build to replace the flat roof & make repairs to the roof at the front of my house. I found their services to be very efficient, the roofers worked hard and were a pleasure to have on site, 100% focused in getting on with completing the job which was turned around quickly. Steve, the Project Manager was a pleasure to deal with & ensured a high quality result was delivered.

I am more than happy to recommend Sentinel Design & Build. On meeting Steve for the first time, I knew he was the man for the job – knowledgeable, professional and calm. Our garden was in desperate need of TLC with most of the fencing falling down and we wanted to create a patio area on a very uneven part of the garden. On day one Steve and his team introduced themselves to my neighbours and treated them with the upmost respect whilst replacing all the fencing. Steve kept me updated on a daily basis with the agenda for each day. The Sentinel team onsite were always professional, kind and friendly to my young children. Any problem that arose Steve and the team found a solution. The work carried out was on budget and within the timeframe we had discussed. I was particularly impressed with smaller additional jobs the team did within the original budget. We are very pleased with the finish and look forward to working with Steve and his team for many years to come.

It has taken me 10 years to find a builder that I can trust, a builder that delivers to an exacting standard, and exceeds expectation. From first day to last day Steve (The owner of Sentinel) has been on the phone, on site and managing a 2-3 month reconfiguration of our home. His team of guys were not only considerate to our home and how we needed to live whist the work was taking place, but also friendly and personable. The quality of workmanship, from plastering, kitchen fitting, gas works, re wiring, brick work, decoration has been excellent. All of his team are experts in their respective trades, which meant attention to detail is evident wherever you look. Nothing asked from has been a problem, changes made last minute have been accommodated with no problem or dramas. The budget was managed very well by Steve, with a comprehensive quote given pre commencement, any add on where quoted for and added to invoice, no costs came as a surprise, Steve has been transparent and honest throughout the whole process which has come as a very refreshing change to the many charlatan builders out there. THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND - D. Johnson-Allen - Greenhithe

Steve and the Sentinel team are amazing. We initially contracted them to complete a rear infill extension to our property but after seeing the quality of their workmanship, we contracted them to do a near total house refurbishment (all of which they achieved in an impressive 7 weeks). The whole team are a pleasure to work with. Would we use them again? Definitely. Would we recommend them? Absolutely. Thank you Sentinel!

I instructed Sentinel Design & Build to fully renovate & restore my period cottage in Shooters Hill in Sept 2018. This involved re-configuring the small old bathroom and original bathroom extension. The construction of a side return extension and swapping of the positioning of the two rooms, resulting in a much larger bathroom and a spacious, light-filled family kitchen/diner/art studio. Sentinel also installed a beautiful new ensuite bathroom and replaced all of the mains drainage. I found Steve, the Company Director, to be a fantastic Project Manager. Pricing was competitive and all communication and interaction very straight forward and responsive. All of the Team were professional and a pleasure to have on site, working to the highest standards. My daughter and I are so thrilled with our new home and having space that reflects us that we can enjoy entertaining friends & family in. I've recently asked Sentinel to come back to do some more work. This time re-designing the spare room/office and re-landscaping the front garden. 100% recommended.
